Good-bye boys . . . I would pack in my suitcase and take you home with me . . . but my kids received too many Christmas presents . . . and I bought too many books. Never mind the fact that your mama would probably object.

And now for the big one . . . ready?

Good-bye light in the sky at 7:30 a.m.

Sigh. Everyone thinks we spend January in Texas in visit family. Nope. It’s to visit the sun.
